Distraction People — Investigation Index
A sophisticated operation may need noise — people who claim to be the shooter, wave props, tamper with scenes, or absorb early headlines — while the real mechanism and exit happen elsewhere. This section catalogs documented and alleged distraction figures around UVU on September 10, 2025. No one here is accused by this site of the assassination unless a court has said so on another matter.
Priority reads
- Only court-adjacent documented distraction? → George Zinn — police say he admitted diverting officers
- Early federal "shooter in custody" then release? → Zachariah Qureshi + FBI page
- Chronology of who drew attention when? → Distraction Timeline
- Scene tampering 24h later? → Russell Kennington

Interesting
- Utah's DPS commissioner took the job only weeks before the assassination.
- The booking sheet reportedly times the arrest before the surrender call.
- Dispatch described all black with a tactical helmet, not T-shirt and jeans.
